General
- A device used by residents of Perplex City
- A key is required to access pages in the online version of the Perplex City Sentinel
- An art exhibit by Aiko Entrescore used electronic devices to send information to visitors' keys
- The 'next generation' of keys unveiled in early 2005
- Complications inside Centrifuge delayed the public release considerably.
- Keys can communicate with:
- Servers existing somewhere on a massively complex network
- Other keys in a given vicinity
- Non-key devices, such as data trackers
- The vital statistics of the person holding the key
- Addresses of keys are typically arranged with 5 characters: 2 numbers, one letter, 2 numbers, like ##X##
- Addresses are often identified or called "Boxes", such as Box 46H91 or Box 57F78.
- Known valid box addresses, as seen on a Post-board, back cover of The Perplex City Board Game Rules:
- Box 87P35, "Canoe for sale"
- Box 55A91, "Crypto study"
- Box 12Y09, "Lovestruck girl"
- Box 43H99, "SM seeks SF"
- Box 72B44, "Comparative Education Study"

"the Earthology guy at the Academy, Von, said that those on Earth should think of them as a combination of: 'a phone, a TV, a video, a computer, a stereo, an MP3 player, a bank card, a passport, a house key...' and some other things he couldn't think of a good analogy for." |
